By Phoebe DavidFeb 12, 2020

While it makes sense that a lot of celebs get together with their fellow peers in the limelight (after all, who can understand that level of fame besides someone else who has it?), the below couples chose true love over everything.

Seriously: Whether that person was the star’s high-school sweetheart, someone they just happened to meet, or whatever the case may be.

Basically, this gallery is proof-positive that all us ~normals~ totally have a chance with the celeb of our choice. Seriously: You never know!

1. Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley

Margot and Tom met by being on the same film set together. Around the same time, they spontaneously signed a lease with a group of friends. They then married a few years later in total secret! They didn’t even tell their guests where the wedding would be, instead they transported them by bus to the actual venue. Keeping the ultra romantic moment for themselves.

2. Elton John and David Furnish

These two met all the way back in 1993. Elton wanted to host a dinner and meet new people. Lucky for him he met the love of his life and it was love at first sight. The couple married nine years later, when same-sex marriage became legal.

3. Julia Fox and Peter Artemiev

Uncut Gems star, Julia Fox, shocked the world when she revealed that she was happily married. She married Peter Artemiev, who works in private aviation, just two months after meeting! She claims she manifested it with him being everything she said she’s ever wanted.

4. Seth Rogan and Lauren Miller

Seth and Lauren met right before Seth’s career took off. Lauren didn’t even know who he was, but they ended up hitting it off and going on a date. They dated for 6 years when Seth finally decided to pop the question. He was riddled with so much anxiety after not planning a proposal, that he asked Lauren to marry him as soon as he got the chance which was while she was changing in the closet. Yep, Seth proposed to Lauren while she was topless and she said yes!

5. Oscar Isaac and Elvira Lind

10. Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

11. Ed Sheeran & Cherry Seaborn

If there is one couple who is #RelationshipGoals, it’s Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn. They’ve known each other since grade school, and reconnected in 2015. Fate took hold when they were both spending the 4th of July on Rhode Island, and Ed invited Cherry to his bud Tay Swift’s infamous annual party. OH, and then he wrote “Perfect” about her. We’ll leave you to cry now.

Here’s another adorable couple that’s been married for over a decade. But how they met? Total fate. The actor met his wife while he was in Miami filming a movie.
